None Whatsoever . . .


(from http://quotes.yourdictionary.com/frills#zj7oruRbIDDBiyUZ.99 & http://www.azquotes.com/quotes/topics/frills.html)
Contingency is rich and fascinating; it embodies an exquisite tension between the power of individuals to modify history and the intelligible limits set by laws of nature. The details of individual and species's lives are not mere frills, without power to shape the large-scale course of events, but particulars that can alter entire futures, profoundly and forever.
-Stephen Jay Gould

Clutter is the disease of American writing. We are a society strangling in unnecessary words, circular constructions, pompous frills, and meaningless jargon.
-William Zinsser

Art is humanity's most essential, most universal language. It is not a frill, but a necessary part of communication. The quality of civilization can be measured through its music, dance, drama, architecture, visual art and literature. We must give our children knowledge and understanding of civilization's most profound works.
-Ernest L. Boyer

Comedy. . .


Comedians are fascinating persons.  They can be so hilarious at "work" while as soon as the lights dim and crowd is gone, they can be terribly sad people.  That's not to say Tig Notaro is sad.  I don't honestly know that much about her except that she is very funny.  But this article gives a glimpse of how real life problems can influence a comedian and the fascinating interplay that results between the stage and real life.


 (from http://www.fastcocreate.com/1681714/tig-notaros-legendary-largo-show-now-available-on-louis-cks-web-platform)
". . . To say that Tig Notaro has had a challenging year would be a not-quite-laughable understatement. The result of the talented comic’s bout with breast cancer (and a collection of other poorly timed maladies), though, was the material and rare mood to pull off a single set that’s been described as both heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure.

“In my 27 years doing this I have seen a handful of truly masterful performances. One was Tig Notaro last night at Largo.” That’s reigning stand-up king Louis C.K. tweeting the day after Notaro’s notorious August 3 show at Largo in California. This high-profile endorsement joined others by the likes of Bill Burr and Ed Helms, which, taken along with a widely circulated blog post, incited a wave of speculation that most of us had maybe missed out on something truly special. Now, it looks like we’ll actually get to hear it.

Notaro recorded the set at Largo, and when I spoke with her for a Co.Create profile a while back, she mentioned that clips would likely surface on the radio show This American Life. Thankfully, clips were not going to be enough, and now Louis C.K. is releasing the set through his web platform. The show, entitled LIVE--as in, what she hopes to continue to do--is available for $5 as of October 5th. . ."

A good laugh. . .

 . . . in celebration
. . . of McCartney's birthday.

There is actually a website (http://digilander.libero.it/jamespaul/fc1.html) with painful, and I do mean painful detail, purporting to prove that Paul McCartney died in 1966.  The case is made purely by comparing a small number of poor quality photos and claiming that skull shape does not change.  They neglect to say that they are actually comparing full head shape including hair.

Fascinating . . . NOT!
